This book mainly talks about the woman reporter Nellie Bly‘s history. From being discriminated to the Mad house, to travel around the world and being a legend in a perspective in Americans that time.
First part:She was discriminated and she was arranged by the judge that she need to got in the madhouse.
Second part:She went to the madhouse to discover the madhouse and report it to the government.
Third part:After she reported the madhouse, she went to travel around the whole entire world.
Fourth part:She went back to NY.
The main theme of this book is mostly about discrimination on different kind of people. The reason why that my perspective for theme is mostly about discrimination is because from the start paragraph that she can’t find a job for herself. Secondly when she went to the madhouse to discover the truth of the madhouse, women patients were abused by the doctors and the nurses so both of the evidence represents women discrimination. Thirdly, even though it wasn’t talking about women being abused and women being discriminated. At Egypt, beggars are beaten by men and women passengers really badly when Nellie was a witness that time.
The central idea that author wants us to think about the topic was the mad house for mostly(chapter1-8) it doesn’t really talk about she traveling around the world that much in my perspective. The author of this book wants us to understand the topic of the book, maybe the topic about madhouse can inspire more readers to read this book because if the author named the book like Women traveling around the world, it might not inspire more people as if the topic is named Ten days a mad women.
Another theme for me(chapter 1-8) is about women can also do things that men do. Even though this is not the main theme but it is still a theme that is really important, in Nellies whole entire legend, from being discriminated by different newspaper company and others, to when she discovered the madhouse and when she travel around the world. Until she went back to NY, she was been a legend and the people that time changed to perspective of women.
